    @Alex Thanks 100x
    I will give You some ammunition for that conversation. I used google translator on the tags attached and it states that the coating will deteriorate with time. Picture coming in a second.

      Yeah, how it was explained is that the efficacy of the oil wanes over time, but you can make it regain it by ironing carefully. That is how we have described them in the products that have had this coating to date and have had no feedback to contradict that. I'll bring it up when I see Haraki, as I said, but I am not expecting a different answer from him

        @Alex I agree that gentle ironing will be of significant help in 2-5 years horizon. But what to do in 5-10 years? The jacket is made to withstand a lifetime of abuse 🙂

            @endo ONI Type IIs tend to come with hand warmers, I think they look great.

              Good evening.

              Have seen this beautiful shirt just a few times and most recently on @theo_phanis_007’s Instagram. He’s probably a member here so feel free to tag.
              I have no idea what this shirt is called and therefore have no starting point to go from when trying to track down a Large for myself!

              Any info on the shirt would be greatly appreciated as am going to be looking to purchase if I can find!!

              Many thanks

                      Does anyone have experience cycling in XHS?

                      I’m likely gonna snag my first 25oz’ers when the 777-XHSib restock - hooray! I get around by pedal power, and the 17oz duck is the heaviest fabric I have experience riding in. I’m not expecting to ride comfortably (safely?) when fresh out of the bag, but more curious how comfortable I can expect to be after I’ve broken them in a bit. I imagine I’ll grab them regardless, just hoping I can rock and roll with them….

                      Many thanks, Jarred.

                        If you want to really jumpstart the break in process, spray the back of the knees and thighs (and really anywhere creases would form) with some water before riding.

                        Wants List:
                        IHSH-20-Red, XL
                        IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
                        IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
                        IHSW-45 Black, M
                        IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
                        IH-777S-SB size 32
                        IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32

                          Is your bicycle seat any color other than black?

                            @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Watch how thick your cuffs are (if you cuff them, hemmed you might be OK). The inseam of the jeans on your right leg is gonna hit those gears as you pedal. The XHS is a beefy SOB, but steel always beats cotton eventually. I'd hike the jeans up your shin or use those clippy things around your shins to keep the cuff well away from the gear.

                            Take the dive...

                              @Matt black on my commuter, but now you got me thinking it might be rad to switch it out to a spare white one….

                                  @Alex ….did you mention a while ago a potential collaboration with Dark Arts Coffee or was I dreaming?

                                        Beautiful, thank you @Jett129. In the first place I was just wondering if there were any with hand warmers. I understand that - originally - they weren't part of the denim jackets, both type II and III, but got more commonly with the type IIIs. Now, I learned there are also some type IIs with pockets, but it seems to be the minority.

                                        si tacuisses

                                          Overdying:
                                          Is this process done after the item is completely sewn or is it done prior to assembling?
